Buy a small, snug, and simple cabin in the mountains (mountains of choice: Grand Tetons, or alternatively some rocky Greek isle with the sea below me), get a big, smart, protective dog who could go for help if I needed him to, have some townspeople check in on me and bring up supplies once a week -- and write.

Frist I would buy the house down the road from where I live and redo the inside, get a better Jeep,take my childern and their family's and spend a month in Scotland, give my childern some money and then I could live happy everafter no house or jeep payments.

Hopes are towers in the skies Dreams are wings taking flight

The Boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best Shadowy and vague. Who shall say where one ends and the other begins

First I pay my house which I built so that I can say: it's my own... I would finish the garden so that it will be a really nice place for sitting in the sun and enjoy the view to the Alps.I have some dream travels in my head: My absolute favorite is a trip across the U.S. from East Coast to West Coast...

What do you say? time, money and obligations are non-issues?

Yeah, Australia by train, hiking in Canada, down the Mississippi by raft (yes, I like the adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn) and for relaxing spend some time in Scotland and Ireland......I know I am too unassumingly today

Buy my parents a nice house here in the mountains where I live, pay off their medical bills, and give dad enough so he could retire, as good as he's been and as hard as he's worked, he deserves it.

For my brother, buy him the one guitar he dreams about more than any other, a six-string and 12-string double neck electric, and get him a fine, all-tube amp stack to go with it.

For me, pay a visit to Scotland and Ireland, the ancestral homes, and take in the folk music in person, before buying an all-tube stereo system and a custom, ultra-heavy turntable to play my vinyl on.

LP Vinyl Enthusiast - It really needs to be in LP vinyl format for me to most certainly get it. ^^

"Your brother brought me silver, and your sister warmed my soul, but now I laugh and pull so hard and see you swinging from the gallows pole!" - from the Led Zeppelin song "Gallows Pole", 'Led Zeppelin III' album.

First I would get some sort of reliable transportation (meaning it has a great entertainment system) and then travel the world. And of course once I finished with the world there is always traveling throughout time and space and seeing the history of the world and the universe.

You did say time was a non issue.

Unavoidably Detained by the World

"Irishness is not primary a question of birth or blood or language; it is the condition on being involved in the Irish situation, and usually of being mauled by it."-Conor Cruise O'Brien

I would purchase land in NW Scotland and spend as much time outdoors exploring the wilds either on horseback or on shank's pony and I would take my two German Shepherds with me. I would learn how to use my digital camera correctly and photograph what I see.

When I am at home, I would spend time reading all those books on my "to be read" pile and employ a chef so I never had to cook again!

Take some of the money and open a horse rehab/"cast off" farm. Rehab horses people give up for various health reasons etc, take in the ones some folks think are to old and "broken down". Start a program for kids with disabilities to learn how to ride and interact with horses and animals in general.

First, if money was no object, become my employer's biggest donor and help pay for the non-profit-sewing plant to expand substantially and hire even more physically and mentally challenged workers than there already are there, along with the requisite increase in social worker staff to assist them.

After that, go back to school and either learn to become either a vinyl record cutting engineer or get some business schooling so I could go back to my non-profit manufacturing employer and become a member of management to help it continue to grow.
